IQ level of Swami Vivekanand and Dawood Ibrahim same, says Gadkari

"In psychology, we measure IQ level of people...But it depends from person to person, in which area they use their intelligence," Gadkari said at an award ceremony here.

"As per psychology if we can compare the IQ level of Swami Vivekanand and that of Dawood Ibrahim, then it could have been almost the same. But Vivekanand used it in nation building, brotherhood and spiritualism while Dawood used that in excelling in crime world," he added.

BJP President Nitin Gadkari

The BJP president said this while making his point that discrimination between men and women on the basis of caste, religion, language and gender is unfair and people should be judged only on the basis of their qualities. Quoting Vivekanand, he said the 21st century belongs to knowledge and considering that India has a bright future.

Gadkari also said politics is a domain full of individuals who are not satisfied with what they have achieved.
